Doxycycline for central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia: A single center retrospective analysis

To the Editor: There are no evidence-based studies that have critically evaluated the use of doxycycline in the management of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA). Hence, we reviewed medical records of patients in the Mount Sinai Health System Data Warehouse with a histopathological and clinical diagnosis of CCCA (Supplementary Fig 1, available via Mendeley at https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/gh24xc9v68/1). Demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment regimens, and treatment response characteristics including nonstandardized photography were analyzed.
